Our Galaxy in HistoryOur Galaxy in History
Discovery– 200 years ago
astronomers assumed stars were evenly distributed through space!
– 100 years ago – we were the center of a disk of stars

Dark MatterDark MatterKeplerian motion is expected
– Falls apart at the outer edge!– DARK MATTER– A form of matter that does not react to E-M forces, or
the Strong or Weak nuclear forces… only gravity A Halo around the galaxy Extends as far as 7X the visible radius of the galaxy Contains 10-100X the mass of the visible galaxy in it! But we can see through it! Particles? Another force? A problem here and elsewhere.

Galactic StructureGalactic Structure
Formation– Similar to the Solar System
Theory in principle right– Age
From oldest open clusters = 7 billion years
From globular clusters (Hipparcos observations) = 11 billion years
Stars in the disk have metals (things heavier than Hydrogen and Helium), stars in the halo are almost entirely Hydrogen and Helium)

Galactic ArmsGalactic ArmsWe are in the Orion-Cygnus Arm
– The next arm out is centered in Perseus (near Cassiopeia), the center of the galaxy is in Sagittarius
– Radio observations give us much of this structure (since light can’t get through the dust)
– The arms are NOT solid objects held together by some force

What makes arms?What makes arms?
– Best theory = the Density Wave Theory- they are like sound waves/shock waves traveling through the disk
– O and B stars live their short lives before the wave passes (so we see the brightest stars
– BUT what starts the waves? How do you get branches? = Unknown.

– Core region about as big as the full moon in our sky– Massive Black Hole = 2.7 million star mass!!– Stars 860 AU away circle the core in 16 years!!!– Event Horizon (Schwarzschild Radius) = 13X larger
than our sun in size.

Galaxies in GeneralGalaxies in GeneralDistances to the Galaxies
– Light years and parsecs are too small now – We’ll use megaparsec (Mpc)
– One Mpc = 3.26 million light years or 2x1019 miles– Cepheids can be seen for 200 Mpc
(.6 billion light years = the universe is about 14 billion light years in radius)

The Hubble Law– Vr=Hd (Vr= velocity of galaxy away from us, d=
distance in Mpc, H = Hubble Constant (km/sec/Mpc)
– Newest results put H near 70-80 km/sec/Mpc 71 ± .4 km/sec/Mpc EVEN MORE RECENT from

WMAP Results– Space all across the universe is flat, parallel lines never meet.
The inflation theory underlying the Big Bang is correct. The universe continues infinitely far beyond our horizon.
– The universe is a mixture of 4.41 ± 0.3% normal baryonic matter, 21.4 ± 2.7% dark matter, 74.2 ± 3% dark energy (anti-gravity like force)
– Dark matter is ‘cold’ not ‘hot’ or ‘warm’. Neutrino limits set.– The universe is 13.73 ±0.12 billion years old (best yet)– Hubble Constant = 70.1 ±1.3 km/sec/mpc– Maximum “Z” (CBR) = 10.8 ±1.4– First stars turned on only 100-400 million years after big bang– The large scale filaments of galaxies are frozen remains of the
subatomic sized universe = quantum fluctuations

billion to one)– 4 seconds = all protons and neutrons made (cooled out)– 2 minutes = deuterium could form – Nuclear reactions (like in stars) formed helium– 30 minutes nuclear reactions ended (too cool now)– 1 million years –up to here a bright radiation dominated
universe– Atoms formed – electrons could be caught T= 3000K then

One way that the math in the quantum world works well is if you add up ALL the POSSIBLE paths of a particle and see how they interact.
So there ‘might’ be a universe for every alternate possibility – a universe where you are following out every choice you ever made and could have made.

This leads us to the possibility that the big bang wasn’t a tiny dot that expanded.
The universe might have thinned out and thinned out until a ‘parallel’ universe just fractions of an inch away could close and touch our universe.
This would have filled the universe with a tremendous amount of energy that then would expand away. Just like the Big Bang! But different!
Then end is different then – a big expansion then another BANG! Next Slide!

Our language = 26 letters = vast number of words! But the maximum information you can carry is
log N, and Entropy = k log W (k= a constant, W = the number of possible states)

Relativity says that nothing can go faster than the speed of light, and that the phenomena you observe depends on your viewpoint (more so at great speeds).

Answer: the view from the observer and the runner is DIFFERENT= relative! It all comes down to the transmission of information!!!

Again – getting an observation of the cat, electron, nucleus, etc. collapses the probability wave for an instant…all other possibilities go away.
But all those other possibilities interact with the world! (Think of the two slit experiment again… one photon a week = the same pattern!!)

The power of quantum The power of quantum computerscomputers
If we leave the atom or electron or photon UNOBSERVED, then it remains in superposition (all possible states at once).
Instead of an 8 bit computer, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, you get every combination in-between (all partial bits as well).
Can solve math problems that would take millions of years today in minutes. All calculations are performed at once!

Back to the Universe now…Back to the Universe now…
Remember the maximum amount of information you can transmit (contain in an area) is = to its entropy.
BUT Relativity and Quantum mechanics don’t get along (remember? Unless string theory is correct = unproven just promising)
Another example:Quantum Entanglement = “spooky action at a distance” = NO actual information transmitted!!
Most of reality (that fact that it is even stable) is due to entanglement of particles with each other.

Black Holes and InformationBlack Holes and Information
The most extreme! – Gravity becomes massive at the quantum scale.
The surface area of a black hole = k log W Entropy AND the maximum amount of information
you can pack into a space! And it lives on the surface NOT the volume!
The logical end of memory compacted-ness is a black hole.
It’s the ultimate memory stick! But can you get the information out?

The Arrow of TimeThe Arrow of Time
Entropy seems to be responsible for the Direction of Time (the past is the past and the future is the future)
In Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, there is no preferred direction of time. You can reverse the sign of ‘t’ and the meaningful things still happen. Sometimes indistinguishable things (particles bouncing off one another)
![Page 141: Week 4 The Large Scale Universe Galaxies, Cosmology, The Theory of Everything.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de85503460f94ae1e0c/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
S=k logWS=k logW
This means that the universe was very special at the start of time.
For us to still be running down (higher entropy) we had to be a universe of very LOW entropy at the start
How did the universe get ‘wound up’ or ordered at start?
One possibility…

Back to parallel universesBack to parallel universes
So we can draw a bubble (like an event horizon) around us… say at the edge of the observable universe (our Hubble Bubble) and calculate how many states you can organize everything in (every particle in every spot).

Information and the UniverseInformation and the Universe
Information is located completely on the surface of a black hole (area = entropy = max information storage).
NOT the volume.Just like a hologram (3-D image in a 2-D
picture) (Remember the branes?)So all the information in the 3-D universe
can be encoded on a 2-D bubble.

The Matrix RevisitedThe Matrix Revisited
The universe ACTS like memory in a computer. With multiple bits at every point that are ‘empty’ space or a particle (or string with that vibrations for those phenomena) and rules that dictate how they communicate and interact – just like a computer program.
And there may be an infinite amount of memory for the universe and its version to be written on!

between “points” of space (smaller than the plank scale = 10-35m.

And we’ll be looking for neutrinos from the big bang!
